Chapter 390
“Madam, Ms. Reid, time for lunch.”
Mrs. Taylor came up and called out to them. It had been Master Maxwell who would usually tell them that it was
time for lunch for the past few days, but he was away today.
Eileen led Fia down the stairs and took her seat at the dinner table. Fia asked while pretending not to care, “Mrs.
Taylor, did he call saying that he’ll come back for lunch?”
Mrs. Taylor choked. She wanted to be honest but worried that it would hurt her.
“Maybe there’s too much work in the company today and he was delayed.”
“True, he must be quite busy!” Eileen agreed.
“No matter how busy he is, would he miss lunch?” Fia asked coldly as she tried to find the spoon and hold

She believed that she would be able to eat and walk on her own before long.
Only then would Eileen stop missing her when she had to leave.
Mrs. Taylor walked out of the dining room and then saw Conrad who walked in quickly. She was overjoyed and
turned around, yelling, “Madam, Master Maxwell is home!”
The spoon that she held shook for a moment before she continued to eat her soup expressionlessly.
Eileen looked at her and said, “Don’t think too much. Maybe it’s because he’s really that busy.”
“Whatever.”
Conrad asked Mrs. Taylor to prepare a set of utensils and sat next to her.
Fia could sense that someone sat down to her left and her expression steeled.
Eileen, who was sitting to Fia’s right, gave Conrad a look.
“Let me feed you,” Conrad said as he extended his hand and wanted to take the spoon from her grasp.
“Let go!” Fia said coldly, her expression colder.
“Let me do it! It’s obvious that Conrad doesn’t know how to take care of others!”
When Fia heard that, she quickly gave Conrad the spoon.
Eileen smiled at Conrad. She realized that if she wanted Fia to accept Conrad’s care, she had to step up.
To help Fia resolve her internal struggles, she couldn’t be so obsessive about anything.
Not to mention that since Esme was dead, she believed that Conrad would treat Fia well.
She wanted the two of them to have a happy end. Only then could she turn her full attention to dealing
with Victor!
After dinner, Eileen said that she wanted to take a nap and went back to the guest room.
Conrad gratefully looked at her and then glanced at the little bit of oil by the corner of Fia’s mouth.
“Let me help you, Fia.”
Fia waved her hands chaotically and grabbed the paper towel from his hand.

After she wiped her mouth clean, she held the paper in her hand and forced herself up.
Conrad nervously stood up and said, “Where are you going? I’ll help you.”
“Don’t touch me!” Fia said coldly. “You’re too dirty.”
Conrad was speechless.
She didn’t move after she stood up because she couldn’t see. If she walked away, she might run into something,
walk in the wrong direction, or stumble and fall.
She didn’t want to be flustered.
“Can you please get Mrs. Taylor?”
“Mrs. Taylor is busy in the backyard.”
Fia gritted her teeth and took a step forward.
Conrad moved and stopped in front of her.
Her head knocked into his shoulder and he immediately stepped back.
She was almost going to fall.
Conrad grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into his arms.
